Designing TADF structures with hampered rotational flexibility between donor and acceptor structural units is shown to lower the conformational disorder. However, in this work, it is shown that it is not always enough. In fact, the negative impact of conformational inhomogeneity may be reduced by lowering the singlet-triplet energy gap (Δ<i>E</i><sub>ST</sub>) and boosting the reverse intersystem crossing (rISC) rate while preserving the same donor-acceptor orientation. In such cases the lower Δ<i>E</i><sub>ST</sub> enables the early triplet upconversion even from the conformers with unfavorably low D-A twist angles, which is not observed in compounds with larger Δ<i>E</i><sub>ST</sub>. In this way, the temporal shifts of prompt and delayed fluorescence are evidently reduced.

However, it remains challenging to experimentally realize the BICs in a single-particle system, especially for subwavelength structures. This study presents the existence of optical BICs in a subwavelength metallic microstructure, and quasi-BICs are observed experimentally in a waveguide system with only a single optimized aluminum meta-particle. This plasmonic BICs is resulting from the destructive interference of two localized surface plasmon modes. Benefiting from its strong localized field confinement and substrate-free merit of BICs, the experimentally measured quality factor (Q-factor) of this transmission dip reach to 273.
